We are half way there…

Well 20 weeks and counting…
Last week we went to get a check up and ultrasound done. The baby’s looking nice and healthy. We found out he’s a he, which is great.
This week we went to UC-Baby to get our 4D ultrasound done. It was neat. the pictures from the session are in the baby photo gallery. The video from the session can be viewed here. Warning the video requires a high-speed internet connection to view.

Now that we’ve seen what he looks like, we’re trying to decide on names. Front-runners come and go with the tide, but hopefully we can think of something in the next 20 weeks.

Cara's ever growing tummy and other baby news

It is by popular demand that I post a picture of my ever growing belly. I find it to be a little bigger then what it should be, but are told that every pregnancy is different. I have not gained any weight and in fact have actually lost a few pounds. So maybe I was more fit then I thought I was.

I am feeling quite a bit better in the 2nd trimester then in the first. In the first, I felt nausea quite a bit but lucky for me, was never sick. Then the 2nd trimester hit and I got the stomach flu. Happy happy, Joy joy! Now that that is over with, I am feeling as normal as someone with a baby growing inside her would feel. Every once in a while I am dizzy, tired or just plain uncomfortable but all to be expected.

Next week will be our 18 week diagnostic ultrasound to ensure everything is going well and to find out the gender. Sam and I have also decided to partake in 3D/4D Ultrasounds, these will be taken at 20 weeks and 30 weeks. This way we get to see what our baby looks like before he or she enters the world. They will also confirm the gender of our baby to be. For those of you who have never seen 3D Ultrasounds… go to uc-baby.com and look at the gallery. The pictures there are amazing. I have spoken to a lot of mothers and fathers and all recommend the entertainment ultrasound. If you wish to be added to the live broadcasting of our 3D/4D Ultrasound, please comment back and we can add you to the list.

That is it for baby news… keep watching back for more pics and updates.

Happy Holidays!

This is my favorite time of year where we all get together and share the spirit of family and stuff… ok so I like getting lots of vacation and getting gifts but I really do love the spirit of Christmas time. Basil, Sam and I hope to be able to see all our extended family throughout the month of December. So watch for us on your doorsteps. This will also be Basil’s first Christmas… I really hope he likes the tree and lets us keep ours up… December 2nd will be the big day. (Lately he has decided that shredding paper is lots of fun… should make opening presents fun) Well that is all I can think of right now. Again hope to see all of you soon.

Merry Christmas & Seasons Greetings

We are anchoring ship…

Star log 03/24/2007… this week we have discovered land in the far off coast of Calgary… we call it New Brighton… ok enough of that. This week Sam and I have found a townhouse in the english community of New Brighton. It is on the far southeast side of the city just a hop, skip and a jump away from both the Deerfoot and the 22X. We are buying a spec home but still get to pick colours, carpets and stuff like like. The complex is called Mosaic and can be viewed at www.hawthorne-homes.com and clicking the Calgary link. From there find the bright orange square… click on that and you have our complex. We selected the Libero floorplan with the rear kitchen and the three bedrooms upstairs. We also have an end unit so there are extra windows and square footage on the top floor. It is scheduled to be finished late May/early June.

In other news, we just finished celebrating our one year anniversary. Yeah us!!! For this we took a trip to San Francisco and saw all the sites. You can view pics on the gallery site… my favorite is Sam as a china man. Go check it out… too funny. We also got to do lots of shopping, view the Golden Gate, play in the Science Center, and generally have lots of fun.

Well I think that is everything in the world of Sam and Cara… stay tuned for the next episode, same Leitch time, same Leitch station. Signing out… CareBear
